Hebrews 10:24 NLT
Let us think of ways to motivate one
another to acts of love and good works.
I am spending some time this
week at the LA Dream Center. Each time I
visit I get to meet and learn from great people, and this day is one of
those. The two men that I spent time
with today stretched my thinking and my faith.
Both of these men are
experts in the areas they work in. They
work in very different jobs. What they
have in common is the desire to help others be successful. We talked about faith and how living by faith
changes the outcome and even our desires.
We talked about how to apply the wisdom of God to various issues of
life.
The biggest take away was
their slants on how God is working in their lives. Both are impacting people. Both are seeking God. Both are seeing lives change and the kingdom
of God grow in big ways.
Sitting with them, listening
and asking questions makes me much stronger.
Colossians 1:28 NLT
So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to
present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ.
Several years ago I traveled with a few pastor friends several hours to meet
with an older pastor that God was using in awesome ways. That afternoon, actually for about 5 hours,
we talked, listened and were given great wisdom.
This pastor gave his time and energy to helps others be successful. Isn’t that what God desires from us?
In the last few weeks God has pointed out some people in my life that I
can pour my life in to in specific ways.
Just like sitting with these men today or with that pastor years ago, I
can give and learn even more. Our
gracious God desires that we share all the recourses He has given us.
May God use us to influence others at every opportunity given to each of
us.
Psalm 107:31 NLT
Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
